Calculate Child Support Payments in Ohio

The calculator below will estimate your monthly child support payment based on Ohio's child support guidelines.

Disclaimer: Please remember that these calculators are for informational and
educational purposes only.

The amount of child support a court will order
for any particular case may be different from the amount estimated by the
calculator.
For the most part, these calculators assume that all of the
children at issue will primarily live with one parent. They are not intended
to estimate child support for joint physical custody or split custody
arrangements.
These calculators do not take into account any possible
adjustments for children who are not subject to the custody order, but who are
living with one of the parents. Finally, these calculators may be based on
older or outdated state guidelines or calculations and may not take into
consideration state or federal tax implications on income.
These
and many other factors can affect a child support order entered by a court.

What the Ohio Child Support Program Can and Can’t Do

Can:

Locate the non-custodial parent

The Ohio Child Support Program
(OCSP) can utilize numerous resources to track down a non-custodial
parent in order to receive payment for a child support order.

Establish paternity

Legal paternity must be established in order to initiate a child support order. OCSP can help you through the process.

Establish a child support order and medical support

OCSP can help you through the process of setting out obligations in your child support order.

Review and adjust a support order

Ohio child support orders may be reviewed every 36 months. If you meet
certain qualifications, you may be able to apply for a review earlier.

Enforce a child support order

OCSP can also utilize various strategies and resources in order to
make sure that the non-custodial parent keeps paying child support.

Collect and disburse payments

OCSP can collect child support payments through Child Support Payment Central (CSPC).

Can’t:

Help resolve custody or visitation issues

OCSP does not get involved with custody or visitation disputes. These issues are best taken up with a private family law attorney. Establish alimony or spousal support

Establishing alimony requires a private attorney and is not a service that OCSP provides.

Open a case for a first-time pregnant woman

OCSP can’t take a case with a pregnant woman who has no other children.

Preside over divorce

A private divorce attorney must be sought if you need help with divorce proceedings.
